With what money? and whose? I think "getting a-rod" is code speak for "hitting the sauce HARD" I don't think A-Rod will be avaliable this winter unless we take him down off the cross the NY fans will crucify him on. There's a very good chance ARod will exercise the opt out clause in his contract this offseason and become a free agent. And, if he does, the Yanks have come out and said that they won't re-sign him. Who knows if that will really be the case, but that's what they came out and said. What makes you think there's a very good chance? The Yanks would be idiots to throw away the $21M+ that Texas is paying ARod. What do you mean? If AROD opts out he's a free agent and his previous contract is void. So Texas wouldn't be paying the Yanks anything. Right? Well, they could work out an extension with ARod and keep the old contract and, thus, keep the Ranger money. But if ARod thinks he'll get more no the open market and isn't happy in NY (there's reason to believe both), I don't see why he wouldn't opt out. True.
